We got our oldest daughter hers at 13. The youngest got hers when she was 10 1/2 (last xmas). - JaxSean Dec 26, 12:06 1
- Sounds like that makes sense. The 10 year old really wants one and I just have no perspective. Mostly I hold the line on no pets... - Capstern Dec 26, 12:10
as soon as they're old enough to get a job and pay for it themselves? -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Dec 26, 12:02
12 is the age I most commonly see, though I know one kid who had the one that would only call his parents when he was 7. -- nm - mafic Dec 26, 12:01

  - I was mostly joking. My nieces were both given cell phones when they were like 10, which I think is probably a bit young. - No. 1 Stephen in the nation! Dec 26, 12:02
